Rooster - Ray Wylie Hubbard

My rooster crows at dawn

My rooster crows at dawn

He don’t do nothin' when the dark come on

You know it don’t seem right

It don’t seem right

Bird ought’a do somethin' 'bout it gettin' night

I ain’t the criminal kind

I’s never the criminal kind

I just do a little pilfering from time to time

So around Muscle Shoals

So around Muscle Shoals

I’s crawling in a window, I got shot full of holes

So it was at that time

It was at that time

I decided to forego my life of crime

So I got me a guitar

Oh I got me a guitar

I play all night from some money in a jar

I got me a suit of clothes

I got a suit of clothes

I rarely get home before my rooster crows

My rooster crows at dawn

My rooster crows at dawn

He don’t do nothin' when the dark come on
